Monday Aug First

So today I got quickly out of bed and headed to the shower, knowing today was the day I would see some students I had not seen in a bit.  I got to Daddy's and had coffee while we visited about Mom and Brittany's travel plan changes and wondering what time they would get to the airport.
 
When I got to work I put the coffee on and got the office ready for visitors.  It was not long before they started coming in, it just gives me the warmest feeling to see these kids and how they have grown over the summer.  I noticed as the morning was going on that my pain was gone, I was not hurting anywhere at all.  It has been a long time since I have had a day of no pain : ).  I had a few surprises, one family that had left 3 years ago came back and it was so neat to see how they have grown, I also had a parent come in that I have know for years whose child left 6 years ago has moved back to our area and he will be coming back.  I also got to visit with some of the kids who were here last year and look  so grown up now.  I can't wait till tomorrow to get to see some of the others.  It was so funny when one of the parents came in to enroll her kids, I told her " I am so glad I get to have your kids again" and she told me " But I am not ready to let them go, does summer have to end already?"  I told her then " I tell you what, I will keep them during the day and you can have them in the evenings and on weekends" 

I got to do a little work on the computer but I know I will find time to get it all done, I am not as stressed out about it now that I have been able to input some of the files.  Today I got to work with other parts of it and am comfortable with that part also.

So when I got home I found out that Mom and Brittany will not make it to Oklahoma today, they will have to wait till morning till they can leave Houston.  "The Vacation That Never Ends"  is what I have started calling this in my head, I can just picture it, they get off in Houston and are told they will have to fly somewhere else to get a connection to here and then they are told " You can't get there from here"  I am sorry Mom, I know you are not finding this very funny, but maybe you can laugh at this later. 

We had steak, mac and cheese, and fried okra for dinner, it was great.  The steak was cooked on the grill and seasoned so well.

Tonight we had our board meeting, this is something else I like to take part in.  It was a very successful meeting. 

So I got home from the meeting and find out that Mom and Brittany will land in Houston around midnight, and hopefully fly home in the morning.
